1941 Map of Blue Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1941

About this map

Blue Hills Reservation dominates this landscape south of Boston, anchored by the prominent Great Blue Hill and the Blue Hill Observatory. The map reveals a transition between the rocky heights of Chickatawbut Hill and the developing residential and institutional corridors of Braintree, Randolph, and Stoughton. Notable social infrastructure includes the Boston Sch for the Deaf, the Town Farm, and a CCC Camp reflecting Great Depression-era public works. The New Haven RR line cuts through the southern terrain, connecting industrial points like Stoughton Mills with the broader region. Numerous cemeteries, such as Holy Sepulchre Cem and Blue Hills Cem, are meticulously plotted alongside local landmarks like Thayer Academy, providing essential detail for those tracing the family and institutional history of these Norfolk County communities during the early 1940s.
